Grace Episcopal Church, Yorktown, Virginia





Grace Episcopal Church has been in service in Yorktown for more than 300 years. It was constructed in 1697 and has survived two wars and a fire.  It was the worship place of General Thomas Nelson, Jr. who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and whose home is preserved in Yorktown.
